John James Foreman (6 October 1913 – 1964) was an English professional footballer who played as an outside right in the Football League for Sunderland, West Ham United, Bury and Swansea Town.[2]
Previously with Sunderland,[3] Foreman joined Second Division club West Ham United for the 1934–35 season. He made his debut on 29 September 1934, a home win against Plymouth Argyle, and made 23 League and cup appearances in his first season, scoring 3 goals. He followed this up with 20 League appearances, and 4 goals, in his second season. After losing his place to Stan Foxall in 1936-37, he moved to Bury.[4]
Foreman played for Workington and South Shields, before joining Hartlepools United in 1939-40. He made three appearances for Pools before the League was suspended due to the outbreak of World War II.[2]
